The Israeli think tank "The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies " which produced the policy document
"A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" in 1996 proposed among many things,
the following:
"Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right — as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions."
Some of the authors of this policy of massive destabilization and destruction in the Middle East migrated to another policy group, namely the "Project for the New American Century" which strongly advocated for regime change in Iraq, the journey was not over, 10 of the 25 co-signers of the PNAC found positions in Geoge W Bush's administration.
While it's clear many U.S. War profiteers benefited and continue to do so from the horrific death and destruction in the Middle East the policy idea seems to have come from an Israeli think tank, which was then supported by those who felt destabilization of the middle east was good for Israel, US oilmen and war profiteers. We bought no good thing with this epic debacle , of course many Americans struggle to find Iraq on a map but the people who produced this war seem to have gotten much of what they were looking for.
